Chen Sifang grimaced and cried bitterly: "Father, help me, my body hurts so much, I'm almost beaten to death by Zhan Xuan, you have to avenge me!"
Minister Chen glared at Lin Yiwan with hatred in his eyes. "Madam Hou, are you so indulgent towards your son? Do you still respect the law and the Emperor?"
As his words fell, many court officials immediately knelt and shouted, "Your Majesty, please severely punish the Zhan Yihou family. We can't let them bully others like this!"
Xiao Ling said in a serious tone: "Marquis Zhan Yi, you need to give me an explanation!"
Lin Yiwan replied indifferently, "Last night when we were playing at the manor, Minister Chen's son kidnapped my daughter Zhan Miao and hid her in the cellar, nearly suffocating her to death. Shouldn't I have beaten him?"
Xiao Ling's expression suddenly changed. He glared at Chen Sifang and Chen Qianqian angrily, "Is what Madam Hou said true?"
Chen Qianqian hesitated to explain: "No, no, we are not kidnapping her, but we want to invite her to be a guest at the manor!"
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you need to knock her out just to be my guest? And you took her away without anyone noticing? At this point, you're still trying to make excuses?"
Chen Qianqian knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, this is just a misunderstanding. Miss Zhan is unharmed, but my brother was beaten like that. Why not just let it go?"
Minister Chen also spoke with a guilty conscience: "Yes, this is just a fight between children. It is not appropriate to make it known to everyone. Your Majesty, please give this matter a lenient sentence?"
Zhan Yan interrupted coldly, "I disagree. Chen Sifang is so young, yet he dares to kidnap people. He has such evil intentions, and he must not be forgiven!"
Minister Chen retorted angrily, "Your son has already beaten him like that, what else do you want? Do you want his life? How can you, the Marquis of Zhan Yi's Mansion, be so vicious?"
Zhan Yan's fierce eyes suddenly fell on him: "Minister Chen, you are really good at turning the tables. Doesn't your son deserve to be beaten? He was the one who tried to tie someone up first!"
Minister Chen tried to argue, "It's true that he kidnapped the girl, but your daughter is not hurt. You should just make a big deal out of a small matter!"
Zhan Yan didn't waste any more words and raised his fist to hit Minister Chen in the face.
He hit Chen Shangshu so hard that his nose started bleeding on the spot.
Chen Qianqian screamed in fear, "Your Majesty, please quickly ask the imperial physician to save my father. I'm afraid he's going to be beaten to death by Marquis Zhan Yi!"
Xiao Ling was extremely angry. He didn't expect Chen Sifang to do such a stupid thing.
He also knew very well that the Chen siblings did this for him.
He can't just stand by and watch someone die!
Besides, everyone knows that it was he who promoted Minister Chen, so he had to protect them no matter what.
He quickly said, "Zhan Yihou, you injured Minister Chen, and your son also made Chen Sifang suffer. Let's stop here!"
Zhan Yihou turned to look at him and said, "Your Majesty, are you planning to favor the Chen family?"
Xiao Ling explained: "How can I be biased? It is obvious that both father and son were seriously injured. Lord Zhan Yi, I advise you to show mercy when you can!"
Zhan Yan brushed his sleeves and said, "Okay, Your Majesty is the ruler. I dare not disobey you. I will take my leave first!"
Without hesitation, he immediately pulled Lin Yiwan, picked up Zhan Miao and walked out quickly.
Looking at the family's backs, Xiao Ling felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Puff!" He vomited blood on the spot!
Minister Chen immediately shouted, "Hurry, someone! The Emperor is so angry at Zhan Yihou that he's vomiting blood!"
The hall was in chaos, but Zhan Yan did not stop.
At this moment, he felt that Li Wang's departure was the right thing to do. No matter how deep the love was, it would eventually be misplaced.
Some people are not worth it!
Lin Yiwan also had mixed feelings, as Xiao Ling eventually became like his father.
He was afraid of losing them, so he tried every means to push them further away.
She really doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore!
As night falls, the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi is bustling with activity.
Zhan Xuan and Ye Li were packing their bags for the military camp, while the others were packing their belongings for the trip to the northern border.
Xiao Ling was seriously ill. Even though the imperial physician gave him acupuncture in time, he felt like there was a stone blocking his chest and couldn't breathe.
He was a little confused, and in a trance, he saw Madam Ye coming towards him.
He forced himself to open his eyes: "Aunt, why are you in the palace?"
Madam Ye reached out and touched his head: "Didn't your aunt persuade you a long time ago? They don't really care about you, but you just don't believe it. Now the knife is stabbed hard in your heart. Does it hurt?"
Xiao Ling spoke sadly: "It hurts, it hurts like death. What have I done wrong? I just want to keep them by my side. Minister Chen is my man. He knows my thoughts. How can I punish them again?"
Madam Ye echoed softly, "Yes, the emperor is right. The emperor is the king of this prosperous dynasty. If you want the people in the Zhan Yihou Mansion to die, they shouldn't resist. They don't take you seriously, so why should you care about them?"
Xiao Ling still had some sense left in him. He shook his head vigorously: "No, I still care about them. I will explain to Aunt Wan and apologize to her!"
He struggled to get up and walk out, but Madam Ye stopped him: "It's no use. I heard they're secretly leaving the capital tonight and heading to the border to meet up with Prince Li. They plan to abandon you!"
Xiao Ling's whole body shook. The word "abandon" completely stimulated him.
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
He has been abandoned all his life!
Obviously, he and his brother were twins, but their mother favored him more and followed in his footsteps until her death.
Leaving him alone and young in this world!
Prince Li taught him the art of being an emperor, but he only smiled at his own son Xiao Rui. He even traveled to the northern border to protect him.
Uncle Wan assisted him in the court, but he refused to keep Miao'er by his side. He was also Miao'er's brother, what could he do to him?
After all, they were all on guard against him and didn't care about him at all!
"Haha!" He laughed wildly, like a madman.
Madam Ye realized the opportunity had come and immediately begged: "Your Majesty, quickly send troops to surround the Zhan Yihou Mansion. We can't let them escape, otherwise, they will become trouble in the future!"
A trace of blood oozed from Xiao Ling's lips, and a fierce struggle was going on in his mind.
Madam Ye urged impatiently: "Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer, otherwise they will have already escaped!"
Xiao Ling's consciousness suddenly became confused, and anger swallowed him up in an instant.
Yes, he wanted to keep them all in the capital and never let them leave.
He has already lost Prince Li, and he cannot lose Aunt Wan again!
Having made up his mind, he immediately gave the order: "Come here, have Li Youde lead the Imperial Guards to surround the Zhan Yihou Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Queen's angry voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
Madam Ye never expected that Queen Wang would suddenly appear at the critical moment.
She was on the verge of success. She only needed to send all the imperial guards to surround the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi, and then the emperor and Lin Yiwan would completely break up, with no room for recovery.
She would never tolerate Queen Wang ruining her plans!
